Adjusting the Fade

The Fade slider controls how the selected effect blends with the previous effect or the original image. You can adjust the Fade for any effect in the Stack by selecting it and then adjusting the Fade slider. In many cases adjusting the Fade slider effectively adjusts the strength of an effect. For example if you add a black and white conversion effect, sliding the Fade down will reveal some of the color from the previous state. In most cases the Fade slider will be set to 100% when you add an effect, however with some effects like vignettes and soft focus effects it may be set at 50%. Adjusting the Fade slider to greater than 50% will make the effect stronger, while adjusting it to less than 50% will make the effect weaker. The Fade slider is the key to achieving a great deal of control and variability with PhotoTools.
